EVICTION AND COERCION
TORIES SURE TO SHOW IRE
LAND NO MERCY.

Lord Harrington Makes Bold Declara-
tion of the Iron -Heeled Policy of the
Party I'm POwer-A Boast that the
Government Has Majority of 100
Votes.
LONDON, Feb. 10.-An urgent whip has
been sent to all the Tory and LIBERAL
Unionist members of the House of Com
mons summoning them to be on hand TO
vote against Mr.. Parnel's amendment to
the address in reply to the Queens
speech.
The Tories among the students have
torn UP by the roots and destroyed tree
planted at Cambridge University last
week by Mr.. Gladstone. The Liberal
students threaten Teprisais.
Mr.. Redmond (Nationalst) resumed
the debate on MIR. ParnelPs amendment
this evening in the House OF Commons.
he said he spoke as one soon to undergo,
in company with John Dillon and others,
a trial which would probably end with
imprisonment for assisting in The opera
tions of the plan of campaign. So far as
the plan had been applied, Mr.. Redmond
said,no more than twenty estates had up
to date been brought under its operation,
and in no case was it proposed to deprive
simply to enable tenants to bank their
money for protection in cases where
landlords refused to make fair reduc-
tlons. In every instance in which the
plan OF campaign had been tried the
landlords were finding it advisable to
make concessions. 1t was due to the
plan that this winter there had been
fewer evictions than for several years
previous, and an almost total absence of
outrages.
WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
The Marquis OF Harrington said the
plan of campaign was not the main ques-
tion before the House. To vote for Mr..
ParnelPs amendment was to vote virtu-
ally want OF confidence in the govern
ment. Other questions raised, therefore,
could not be discussed on their merits,
but only with reference TO the effect OF
the amendment on the fate OF the govern
ment. Admitting that the relations be-
tween landlords and tenants in Ireland
were far from satisfactory, it was no
remedy to suspend or reduce or abolish
the payment of rent. Such plan would
be found to be no boon to the poor ten
ants. Lord Harrington said that the real
remedies for the agrarian crises were
found in providing larger productive en-
plOYment for the people, or in voluntary
emigration conducted and supported by
the local authorities. Cheers. Still,
where landlords existed land laws must
be enforced.
EVICTION INEVITABLE.
1t would never be possible to get rid OF
the ultimate resort OF eviction. The
course OF the government in prosecuting
the authors of the plan OF campaign was
right and Straightforward. 1t was the
duty OF the government to attack men en-
gagged in an illegal conspiracy and pre-
vent their leading astray tenants who
were their dupes. Mr.. Gladstone had de-
clared that the plan of campaign.resulted
from the policy of the government in re-
fusing to adopt suspension Of the evic-
tions bill. Could Parliament hold that, as
legitimate consequence, the rejection of
any measure left the people morally
entitled to take the law into
their own hands aud do what
Parliament had refused to do? [Cheers.
Ii the plan OF campaign was otillegal, ,and
if its enforcement was not stopped there
would be an end to all relations between
landlord and tenant 1t would cause an
internecIne war ana result in the total
destruction OF the power OF the landlord
to obtain any rent excepting what the
tenant chose TO pay.
SUPPRESSION A NECESSITY.
The suppression OF the plan was
necessity il order was to be preserved.
Mr.. Parnell had referred to the probable
recurrence OF dynamite outrages. He
admitted that Mr.. ParDell WAS not in
position to control dynamite crimes, but
he was in a position to ds0wn them.
[Cheers. They were not disowned. Mr..
Parnell contented himself with warning
Parliament that Ii a certain course were
pursued dynamiters might resume opera
lions. AS to home rule, there remain ed
a Rteadtasr, solid barrier Of 100 votes
against Mr.. Gladstone's scheme.
ICheeSs. 1t was idle and useless for the
Home Rulers TO present vague resOu-
tiOn to the House on the ground th at
they had the confidence OF the irish peo-
people. knowing that they must secure
the approval OF the British nation.
